Chapter 148 Vice Admiral (1 owes 4)
The sky is clear and cloudless.
Today, the visibility of the sea is extremely high, and the view is endless.
At this moment,
Philip led the eyes of those who were still holding the line with shock and disbelief.
Almost everyone saw the strange appearance of the magic energy beam just now,
If it weren't for the roar still echoing in my ears,
They couldn't believe that they had just witnessed the amazing scene of the Tianlan Royal Navy's capital ship being sunk by a round of firepower!
The crowd hasn't come to their senses yet,
The second round of artillery firing wiped out the group of old nobles who defected...
......
"My goodness... Is this a decapitation plan to play directly? Archduke Philip's hand, I'm afraid no one thought of it. β
These two rounds of artillery made Raymond's heart agitate, and he couldn't help but shout "Big Guy 666".
Before the warring parties could meet each other, Archduke Philip killed the opponent's "king" in one round?
If he knew at this moment that this was the "Salo I" royal expedition, I am afraid that he would be a little more shocked.
"Tsk... Five 'Sea King-class' artillery, I didn't expect Philip's level of technology to be able to forge such a high-weight artillery! β
Raymond only roughly estimated the firing range, and immediately guessed the magnitude of the five guns.
It stands to reason that such a thing could not have been possible in such a remote area as the Black Sea.
Just like in the previous life, do you dare to imagine the shock of the sixteenth century, when someone suddenly took out a Barrett and shot a child from afar?
Artillery of this magnitude, the huge Black Sea, except for a few deterrent decorations at the gate of the naval branch, cannot be seen elsewhere at all.
Even the well-informed Raymond didn't expect Philip's killer feature to be this kind of thing.
Come to think of it, this is probably a drawing left by the vampire boss,
However, even if there are drawings, it is not easy to forge them with the level of craftsmen of the Black Sea. It's no easier to get these five Sea King cannons with limited construction machinery than it is to take out another lava dragon.
"I'm afraid Archduke Philip should have started planning all this a decade or two ago."
Raymond's heart was full of praise, and his eyes sparkled.
He was indeed shocked by the operation of Archduke Philip's miraculous pen.
A round of artillery bombardment, beheading the local supreme general,
Two rounds of shelling, deterring the small,
The situation became clear all at once!
That's the good thing about the hand length, I can hit you, but you can't help me.
All at once, the scales of war slowly tilted back from a one-sided situation...
The firing range of these five Sea King-class guns is two or three times the range of the top guns of the Tianlan Royal Navy.
This is definitely a big killer that affects the final outcome of the battle!
"With the 'Sea King-level' magic energy artillery, maybe this battle can turn defeat into victory?"
I knew that there was such a big killer, why did I worry about it?
Thinking of this, Raymond was overjoyed, but then his brows furrowed again.
He muttered again, "No... The energy quality required to drive this high-level magic energy cannon is very high, at least a seventh- or eighth-order beast core. Those two rounds of artillery just now are gone, not to mention millions of gold coins..."
(1 gold = 10,000 quarks)
Moreover, money is secondary.
The point is that Philip Ling doesn't have the ability to capture seventh- or eighth-order demon beasts at all!
The sixth-order lava dragon before almost wiped out this territory, how could there be a large number of high-level beast cores to fill the magic energy cannon?
Considering this factor, Raymond's eyelids jumped.
Now it seems that
These five Sea King-level magic energy cannons, the effect of deterrence is probably greater than that of actual combat.
With these five ultra-long-range magic cannons standing here, those large ships of the Tianlan Royal Navy would definitely not dare to approach rashly. But those guys weren't going to be scared back by these guns. Then next, they probably have to choose the way of scattered landing of small boats to search for harassment and attack...
Now Raymond suddenly figured out what Archduke Philip meant by what he said to him before, "It turns out that this is the shelling that Lord Philip said before?" And then... And the next landing street fight? β
The people on the Tianlan fleet probably guessed that this 'Sea King Cannon' must have a limit on firing. But as long as these cannons are still there, then they will not dare to occupy Philip's territory by means of large warships to suppress numbers.
The devil knows how many rounds the Sea King-class cannon can fire,
Maybe it won't be able to open a single round,
But the people of the Tianlan fleet did not dare to gamble.
"It turns out that Archduke Philip has already calculated this step..."
Raymond looked at it and sighed,
These five Sea King cannons are the only good news in the two long days of bad news.
Without the artillery of large war ships to suppress the threat, Philip had a slight advantage as the defender.
But
The existence of these Neptune cannons only delayed the defeat,
Badly injured elephants can still be eaten by ants.
"Well, the tide is over, no wonder Archduke Philip is planning to fight to the death here. Looks like I'll have to look carefully for a moment where the landing ship "No. 8815" is..."
Thinking of this, Raymond took out his binoculars and took a closer look.
In the lens,
While the large ships kept retreating, the small landing ships, which were densely packed like marching ants, were slowly spreading out on the sea.
......
In the two rounds of miraculous shelling just now, if you want to be the most frightened, it has to be the Clive family.
Especially in the second round of artillery, the "Toucheng faction" led by the Rodney family was all annihilated in the artillery fire, which frightened those who had not had time to escape even more heartbroken.
This cannon shows the ruthless attitude of Archduke Philip towards traitors.
Even if it was a waste of firepower, he would never let go of these guys who defected!
"It turns out... We were wrong. β
Those clan elders who had been clamoring for the abolition of the position of patriarch of old Clive a moment ago were even more frightened at this moment.
If they really defected with the Rodri family just now, it is estimated that they have become ghosts under fire at this moment.
At this moment, they looked at old Clive again, as if they saw a god.
It turned out that the order of the head of the family to stay still was not because he had changed his cowardice in the battle, but because he really had foresight!
The funny thing is that a second before the two rounds of shelling sounded, they were still plotting how to vote directly to remove the head of the family, and then control the ship island to quickly leave Philip, the land of right and wrong destined to be swallowed up by war, and follow the Rodney family to join the new master.
Now that I think about it, this naΓ―ve idea almost sent them all to hell.
Old Clive ignored the shocked group of clan elders, and slowly walked to the deck.
"Sure enough, you guessed it..."
He looked in the direction of the Philip Academy and muttered to himself, "My son is already a hero..."
The sea breeze was blowing, and this old Clive felt that he was really old.
Excitement, relief, joy, sadness...
He had mixed tastes in his heart, and he was in tears for a while.
"Madame, have you ever seen this scene in heaven... The person who directed this drama is not the Rodney family, nor the Tianlan royal family, but our once frail and sickly son Little Meyer..."
......
At the same time, a World Government Navy warship flying the flag of a seagull slowly sailed into the battlefield.
This is a warship.
The World Government Navy is not directly involved in a normal war between any dynasty, they are only responsible for monitoring the situation of the war to see if anyone violates the war conventions, but they do not interfere with the outcome of the war.
Coincidentally, the admiral on the warship saw the scene when the Sea King bombarded and sank the main ship of the Tianlan Navy just now.
On the deck of the warship stood two people, the first wearing a cloak of righteousness with black letters on a white background, and the other a mysterious man shrouded in black robes.
If there are outsiders here, they will definitely be shocked by the golden admiral star that the navy has descended on their shoulders, because this is a naval headquarters admiral! His military rank is even two ranks higher than that of Senior Colonel Shimon Lopez, the Supreme Commander of the Black Sea Naval Division.
If Raymond were here, he would know that this admiral is Vice Admiral Kim Ackerman of the Admiralty Headquarters of the Endless Sea.
"'Sea King-level magic cannon'? It seems that Capone left some small things for his descendants..."
Ackerman smacked his lips, with an interested expression, and muttered: "However, since Philip VIII has done this, I'm afraid that the Tianlan royal family will be even more immortal." You say, what the hell does he think? β
"Lieutenant General, I said that you are still interested in caring about such a small fight in such a remote sea area with your level of existence?"
The black-robed man was obviously not interested, and even those few Sea King cannons didn't let him glance at them more.
He looked at Ackerman and didn't say anything, and said, "Mr. Ackerman, if you Navy want to take what Capone left behind, can't you just go and get it yourself?" As far as your cultivation is concerned, who else can stop your existence in the Black Sea? It's not going to take me here..."
"Who knows?"
Ackerman didn't answer directly, and said with a distant gaze: "Tsk... We didn't expect Capone to dissolve the 'power of God' in such a short period of time, and it also made the general of Chizuru suffer a big loss..."
"What? Chizuru, that old guy actually suffered? β
The black-robed man's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and his expression became ugly.
He probably understood, and guessed, "You suspect that this little nobleman's territory may have some power beyond his control, so... Just let me mine for you? β
His tone was a little resentful, but obviously helpless.
"Or else? You don't have any effect at all, why am I bringing you here? β
Ackerman smiled coldly and said, "Could it be that you still want to go back to the prison of the 'Chaotic Wind Belt' for a hundred years?" β
"Don't, don't, don't... From now on, what your lieutenant general arranges, I won't ask anymore, is that good? I don't want to go back to that place again. β
The black-robed man shrank his neck when he heard this, as if he thought of something terrifying, and said with a pout: "What else do you have to order, my lord?" Do you want me to find something and just kill all of them? β
"Don't talk nonsense. It was your own greed that came to the door, and it has nothing to do with our navy. β
β...β
"However, Carpen's descendants should not be kept."
"Well, do as you say. Anyway, it's not the first time we've done it as vicious pirates..."
"Listening to your tone, do you still have an opinion?"
"How dare you?"
"Huh."
Ackerman shrugged noncommittally, a sneer in his eyes. He looked at the black-robed man's gaze, and there was always a kind of contempt for the superior towards the slave.
The breeze blows, the righteous cloak hunts, and the tall back is like a mountain.
......
On a certain battleship of the Tianlan Royal Navy.
The fourth prince, Joyce Rosa, and the vice-president of the Royal Naval Academy of Tianlan, Erwin, were talking in secret.
"Tsk... I didn't expect to come out this time and encounter such a surprise. Teacher, do you think I'm going to do something now? β
Joyce's tone was brisk, as if she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart.
Hearing this, Erwin said unhurriedly: "Just now, the 'Golden Lion' was sunk, His Majesty was seriously injured, and now his life and death are unknown... However, your Highness, it is also best not to act rashly. β
Joyce's tone was a little eager, and she said, "But my dear brothers have already been impatient to board the landing craft... They want to get Philip VIII's head first, so that this earth-shattering feat can become a bargaining chip for them to seize the succession to the throne. β
The strong in the world of great exploration are respected, and the heir to the throne is also virtuous and not long.
Salo I intends to raise Gu and wants to pick the most suitable heir, so the position of the first heir to the throne has been undecided. This also led to the princes who were harmonious on the surface, but they were constantly fighting in private.
Salo I is now in the prime of life, and he is a high-level transcendent in Sequence 5, and he has a long life. It is estimated that it is not surprising that this group of princes will survive their own lives, and they may not be able to survive until the end of the old king's life.
So, if they want to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, the old king will have to have an "accident"!
And it just so happened that His Majesty the King of this eloquence had a whim this time to drive the expedition in person. I thought it was a thrilling war of annihilation, but I didn't want such a big accident!
Although for the rest of the Tianlan Dynasty, the uncertainty of the king's injury and death is a shocking news. But for their group of princes, it has to be said that it is a surprise from heaven.
At this moment, all the princes have the same thought,
If their father was really killed by shelling this time, then Philip VIII was naturally to blame. Whoever can get his head will have the absolute right to inherit the throne.
No wonder Joyce was so anxious.
At this time,
A flash of sharpness flashed in Erwin's eyes, and he squinted and said: "Philip's background is very deep, and the person who goes first may not be able to get the first credit, and may be used as cannon fodder... Your Highness, you don't need to worry, I have my own arrangements. β
"In this way, it will bother the teacher more."
Hearing this, the fourth prince showed a satisfied smile. His unfathomable mentor said this, and he really put his mind at ease.
......
The five Sea King guns did not fire again,
The skirmishes soon stopped.
Philip led through a surging tide of beasts, and his defenses had been shattered.
Those people in the Tianlan fleet barely encountered any decent resistance, and they successfully rushed into the ship island through the gap opened by those sea beasts.
Raymond lowered his binoculars and probably figured out where the ship "No. 8815" was docked.
He beckoned Erin beside him and let out a long haul.
"Let's go, Irene."
